New Life-Restoring Apparatus.

E. C. Halt, writing in the August Technical World Magazine, asserts that Prof. George Poe of South Norfolk, Va„ is able to restore life to apparently <j|ead animals, his treatment being based upon the wellknown method of forcing oxygen into the lungs. For this purpose be has devised an artificial respirator, modeled ia all respects after nature. It embraces two small cylinders, each having an inlet and an outlet, with which plungers work aim- ' nltanconsly, and from which tubes are conducted to the nostrils er mouth of the patient. One cylinder is supplied with oxygen, and the outlet of the ether discharges directly into the atmosphere. Tbs plungers are worked by hand and timed according to normal respiration. Thus in owe movement noxious gases from the lungs are drawn Into one cylinder, while the next movement forces oxygen from the other cylinder into the tongs. This device has been jiatented and will soon be opon the market.
